FixedThe
system stores inventory in both the primary and secondary units of
measure. You can enter an item quantity in one unit of measure, and the
system converts the quantity to the secondary unit of measure and
displays both quantities.

DefaultThe system stores inventory in both the primary and secondary units of measure. You can enter an item quantity in one unit of measure, and the system converts the quantity to the second unit of measure and displays both quantities. You can change the quantity in the secondary unit of measure, without changing the quantity in the primary unit of measure.

No DefaultThe
system stores inventory in both the primary and secondary units of
measure. Use this option when the default conversion between the two
units of measure is usually not the same. The system does
not automatically display in the secondary unit of measure when you
specify the quantity for the primary unit of measure. You manually
enter the quantity of the secondary unit of measure before you process a
transaction. The secondary quantity can fluctuate from the default
conversion by the factors that you specify in the Deviation + and
Deviation - attributes.

Deviation Factor +

You
can enter acceptable deviations as decimal values. This attribute is
assigned at the organization level. This produces a plus or minus
tolerance of acceptability. For example, if the allowable transaction
quantity deviation for the item is 10 percent higher

than the established conversion, you would enter 10 in this field.

Deviation Factor -

You
can enter acceptable deviations as decimal values. This attribute is
assigned at the organization level. This produces a plus or minus
tolerance of acceptability. For example, if the allowable transaction
quantity deviation for the item is 10 percent lower
